Ok,

Hopefully someone can help me with doing this...

I've got an export of clients and the fields that I deem necessary in a long 
exported list using NSRADMIN.

What I'd like to be able to do is import this list in to a fresh Networker 
build in the least painful way possible. The obvious first option would be to 
paste "create type: nsr client;" above every client name in the list and run 
that against nsradmin as the import file. However with a huge number of 
clients, this process would be annoyingly slow and painful and any changes made 
that required a new export at a later date would then lose that command added 
and would need to be done again.

Does someone know of a way to pipe the input file in in such a way that it can 
loop through this long list? Or is what i'm wanting to do not really possible.


Oh and before anyone asks why would you want to do this, you can just restore 
the boostrap - i'm looking at potentially having to rebuilt a knackered 
installation due to a colleague taking a backup of the NSR folders before 
tampering but not stopping services before he tried copying it back and its 
caused all sorts of weird duplications and problems.

Thanks in advance
